gav Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Hi, bit new to this so i dont really know what im doing. I have a problem using 3d studio max 3. I'm trying to construct a plant leaf, the problem is that it has to be ribbed and semi-transparent between. Any hints and tips would be great!

3danim8d Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Gav, Do you a picture of the type of leaf you are trying to model? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 hey gav, Post a picture of some sort.... And maybe you could rename the subject to make it more appropriate to what you are asking.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hello Gav Try this tutorial. dragon wings tut Well dragon wings are similar to leaves... right? :???: Not that I've met a dragon Well not one with wings I would model the spines using box modelling + meshsmooth Don't forget to put your texture as the background so you can trace the spines and leafy bits. (If I'm being patronising, I apologise ) Just to change the subject entirely.... As a graduate from Huddersfield Uni Architecture department.... Wondering whether any lecturers are still there Graham Halstead? Vassilios Balompanis? Good Luck on the assignment Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Cheers Geoff!! Not patronising at all mate, I'm only in my second year of ACAT. Vas is actually my 3d max lecturer! This is actually for an assignment that he has set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 You know I had a feeling this might be his doing! He was a student with me! I've lost touch with him in recent years. You couldn't pass on my e-mail address to him you could? geoffrey_packer@yahoo.com again good luck Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3danim8d Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Gav, So, how did your leaf model turn out? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 Hey guys sorry ive left it so long heres how my plant turned out!

Thanks for your help!!!! http://www.cgarchitect.com/forum/filepush.asp?file=render1_1.jpg http://www.cgarchitect.com/forum/filepush.asp?file=render2_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cesar R Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 hey very nice model !! can I have it j/k how are you lighting your scene? maybe you should post a wire frame, tell us more about it, was the dragon tut. helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 the Dragon tutorial was amazing, it gave me access to loads of other tutorials. Ive never learnt through tutorials before i'm just used to being in a lecture with about 50 other people! I know the lighting on the model is fairly poor but the idea was to develop my bump mapping skills on the leaves by grey scaling scanned images in photoshop and having a mess about!! http://www.cgarchitect.com/forum/filepush.asp?file=leaf.jpg [ January 04, 2003, 07:38 AM: Message edited by: gav ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
